A developer out of Williamsburg has requested that an 8.38 acre parcel on Apple Valley Road be rezoned to allow for the development of a senior living facility.  The community would include 130 group home units (with 1-2 bedrooms) and 42 attached dwellings (duplexes or rowhouses) potentially as shown in the layout above.

The group home units will be built as (2) three-story residential structures with a community building between them. 

Potential community amenities will include outdoor common areas, recreational activities, a dog area, a greenhouse, an electric vehicle charging station and more. The community will likely offer services such as housekeeping, a coffee shop, a hair/nail salon, fitness classes, etc.

The living units in this development will be rented, not purchased, per the developer (Andy Piplico) and there will not be age restrictions but the average age of residents will likely be 84 years old.

The Planning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend that this development be approved, and the Board of Supervisors will make that final decision in the near future.
